| Showings |
The commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss, and his wife Hedwig, strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.
As a piece of observational cinema that borrows from the very visual grammar of nonfiction films, The Zone Of Interest is an instant classic, a masterpiece whose every gorgeously framed shot aims to stun you into silence.
★★★★★
It depicts no violence, and barely even shows any Jews being menaced. Yet it’s lacerating, a master class in how to show without showing.
★★★★★
The film is so well-made, so deliberately cautious about showing actual atrocities, that the imagination works overtime.
